Sikkim Before Chogyals | The Tribes of Sikkim | Lepchas | Limboos | Mangars | The Cord

In ancient times, Sikkim, the 22nd state of India, was not how it is now. Rather, it was known by different names by different tribes residing in the region. On the whole, it was more like a Greater Sikkim. Various tribes ruled different regions of Sikkim, of which Lepchas are considered to be the first ones, others being Limboos and Magars. All three are called the Original Inhabitants of Sikkim. After 1642, it was ruled by the Chogyals, the Tibetan Kings. But there is more to the history prior to 1642. In this exclusive story ‘Sikkim Before Chogyals’, The Cord analyses the ancient in-depth story of Sikkim.

Came here from a facebook post which mentioned only limbus. I am from sikkim only andnstay here in yuksom. The post sharer on fb questioned the credibility of this video, but I feel this is really great research by someone from the outer community. Even limbus themselves do not knw this much and I think other tribes as well. But ewta kura ho tyoh ke ho bhanay, this is history, which cant be hundred percent true. This channel has referred to some books which I have also read during my thesis, and it is completely fine to take sources. Many won't agree with it, many will. Aboh itihaas ko lagi ta tyahi samayma po pugnuh paryoh ta ushova testai credibility ra authenticity khojnu cha bhane. We read sources and then we are supposed to research more, these youtube videos can only give you a summary of the history but atleast they are giving which is commendable. Khoi tah hamro afnui limbu bhai baini haru le banauna video ani ustai ramro knowledge cha bhane ujjyagar garung. Galti nikalnu, galti bataunu sajilo huncha, kasaiko mehnat cha, kunai bahiri manche le hamro samaj ko kura dekhaunu nae thulo kura ho tara hamro ta kaam ni galti dekhaunay ho ra aghi bardieuna ta. They have done great work i feel and this should continue. Do we have anyone who raised such things over youtube or any other big platform before? No!! Moreover they are giving sources, not claiming anything of their own or changing history specially the history which some of our own community people think is true but reject everything else.

[@anmolthapa7055]

There is a difference between history, legend and myth. Any culture in the world has abundance of myths and legends which has often overshadowed the reality. Our region is no exception. The history as mentioned in the video may or may not be authentic yet the team has left no stone unturned to present us with something that has not been done before.

While reading history of limbuwan, especially ist ilam king has Mu ta chi Ema hang name ,I believe with time he and his people became limbu as limbuwan was made with the help of 10 kings with king of ilam being one..As per folk tales 8 kings of earlier limbuwan was defeated by new 10 kings... Earlier few lepchas might have become limbus and like wise in chogyal regime, many limbus became lepcha too and one of them is my grandmother parents who became lepcha...U can find some thars that are same.

I'm a Limbu from Taplejung Nepal ,"Tamor "region that you mentioned in your video. This is one of the most relatable research video I have ever come across.think most of the evidence that supports your research about the limbu is true ,but don't know about other tripe. And another thing is that Limbu's never lost the war against Gurkha , instead they betreit us cleaverly >here Gurkhas those days were bhramins and chettriyas.they disobeyed the treaty b/wn . Limbu's and Gurkha.Rest all the evidence are really true.Even about the" mundhum" that you mentioned is very much true.

One of the interesting documentaries its like one of the old tv doc shows factual,informative and real research.The limbu people are exonym group their history and origins are still not fully understood their origins are also mentioned how they lived in himalayan region’s history which is older than rig vedas or puranas or the kiratas kirats means the victorious ones its origin is said they got this title after defeating the dravidian invaders in the northern india .i did not know lepchas and limbu shared close ties because in lepcha cultures lepcha language and people are directly descandant from gods and they share amazing history one of most sophisticated history in asia.i have heard an folk story and documentary about how limbu or kirat people came to be its said in ancient time thousands of years ago must be 2000 or more maybe older so in inner mongolia(ancient history of china)when south china was still south tibetan kings place and Inner Mongolia was big china . There was poor ethnics indigenious tribes there they were peaceful loving people(kirats or the limbus)they inter mingled with tibetians then later tibet was attacked by mongols, mongols won war against them they werent as brutal but tibetian somehow still hold grudges against them still today. now the next part it is said that in ancient kiratdesh was underattacked again this time by other groups gurkhas(aka hindu bahuns )and to save the people of kirat and blood kins in kiratdesh the mongols wanted to help and they sent out brave people and those were (kirats or limbus) limbus group are mixed of sino tibetians and mixed bhote ,bhutia which are known as sherpas. Limbu has historical ties with ancestors worshipping they are share similarities related to lechas,mongolians. Siberians also worships ancestors but limbus dont share anything close anything than some strikingly similarities with sakha people culture. I think limbu people came to be because they are thankful to their ancestors wisdom and they worship niwa or nuwa an ancient real life religious leader which is belived to hold super powers and earth godess and she could either be from Mongolia or russia , south russia used to be borders vessels with mongolia and shared brotherhood kinship

Please don't call yourself Gorkhas/Nepalis, if you don't want to... nobody forces yourself to identify as one! I'm from the Rai community and we also have our own tribal language just like countless other Gorkha communities yet we are proud of our Gorkha heritage and this is what binds us together as one. Sikkim is Sikkim but Darjeeling/Kalimpong/Kurseong is Gorkhaland. We've always supported Sikkim but Sikkim doesn't support the people of Darjeeling and Nepal and always throwing dirt on everyone except themselves

There is lots name of places called Magar Jung Sikkim Darjeeling and Tarai where Mangar used to rule the area

[@LIMBUSQUAD-di6pg]

They were the solders of sen . Morang boarder were up to testa. Lohang sen migrated in vijyapur of limbuwan in early16 century from makwanpur and his grand son setupati sen migrated in sikim and ruled in west Sikkim. Here you have to be cleared that magar were kept in boarder area of sikimm region for security during the sen period so the during that time, magar jong/killa were established in darjelling,sikkim region.They dinot ruled that placed .They were just kept their for security of boarder.

Find the difference of Sen and magar history..The historical land of magar in west Nepal..there are some community were been living between KTM to sikkim like sunuwar (KTM to sunkhoshi) ,Rai( sunkhoshi to Arun west Nepal ) and limbu( Arun east to west Sikkim) so,how magar became king and ruled in sikkim which ancestors land is west nepal.They arrived at the time of sen in early 16 century not before than that. Do you know who is rudra Sen ,munkunda Sen ,lohang Sen ,sentupati Sen ?? Find the historical background of Sen and relation between above sens which refer to king. There are different larhmohar issued by Sen in limbuwan in 16 century where magar were kept in boarder of chainpur for security even they were kept in darjelling and Sikkim region .(For evidence.i will provide you the pic DM us in FB with the FB name limbusquad.)

Intersting story

[@Yakthungba87]

You said that Limbuwan was defeated by Gorkha. The truth is that Limbuwan was never defeated by the Gorkha army. That is why Gorkha king Prithibi Narayan Shah made a treaty with Limbuwan king which is also called Nun Pani Treaty.

One should never forget the blood brotherhood between the tribes .. Witness Mt khanchendzonga still standing and will be there till the end of times ..

[@bramstokes7156]

Blood brotherhood could have been among limbus and Thapas too but it didn't this means that Lepchas were the native tribe of Sikkim. The Lepchas found bhotiyas Bhutias Tibetans as legitimate brothers however the blood brotherhood didn't last long. The peaceful pact by blood was to live smas brothers and sisters as one blood one kin by marriage and also loyalty.

[@user-in1yw9ty5t]

Bhutias betrayed their Lepcha allies

[@DRoidToonPlay]

Where did lepchas came from option - tibet, Myanmar,japan,thailand.mongolia and china. Because in Google there are lot of theory about lepcha people that they have migrated from one of this countrys but they think themselves like they have not migrated from any place tell me pliz

@@homelesslavie_vlogs9600 no bro it’s not based on whether they lived in 10,000 years or 200 years. If so than why Tamangs are in ST?? Tamang’s homeland is central Nepal. They migrated into Sikkim/Darjeeling in last 150-300 years max only.
